Our True Story
We're deeply connected to what we do because it's not just work — it’s a story we live every day, shaped by real experiences, purpose, and a commitment that runs deeper than the lens can capture.
Founded by award-winning journalist Gregg McLachlan, he left a media career to finally follow his lifelong passion of nature and conservation. His original career goal in his twenties was to become a wildlife technician. His eventual return to conservation was a 360-degree moment,
only this time it would be to tell its unique stories of wild spaces and people.
We believe conservation films, documentaries, and even branded content should do more than just educate. They should forge a deeper connection to nature and inspire action.
Together, let’s tell your conservation story the way it deserves to be told.
Because when people feel something, they do something.
We can easily scale and adapt
to your story needs
We are a full-service, small-crew conservation filmmaking production company based in Central Canada. Our team adapts to your project’s needs and budget, whether that means a solo filmmaker or a full production crew.
With a flexible and scalable approach, we bring branded-content conservation stories to life for local nonprofits, provincial organization, and national organizations alike.
For documentaries, we bring a journalism-rooted in-the-field style to conservation filmmaking: nimble, authentic, and story-first.
We believe every story calls for its own footprint in the field. Sometimes it’s one pair of boots, sometimes many, but always with a focus on truth, integrity, and impact.
In 2024, WorkCabin Films expanded its team to produce even more conservation documentaries while staying true to our roots of also filming branded conservation content, short films and mini docs. With more skilled conservation professionals onboard, we’ve scaled up without losing our special hands-on approach that conservation nonprofits have come to trust from working with us.
Our commitment to a comfortable, supported filming experience remains, ensuring organizations of all sizes feel at ease telling their stories. This growth isn’t a shift from our mission. It’s about amplifying impact and helping more conservation organizations share their incredible stories.
